slope change?
O A. The slope of the new graph would become steeper.
B. More information is needed to determine the change.
OC. The slope would remain the same.
D. The slope of the new graph would become less steep.

Answer 1

The slope of the new graph would become steeper.

What is slope?

Slope is the ratio of the increase in the y-coordinates to the increase in x-coordinates of a line or tangent to a curve.

Analysis:

The first equation y = -3x+8 has a gradient = -3 with absolute value = 3

The second equation y = -5x + 8 has a gradient -5, absolute value = 5

The line with the greater steepness is the line with a greater absolute value of the gradient which is y = -5x + 8
